NAME Kwiki::Notify::Mail - send an email when a page is updated VERSION Version 0.02 SYNOPSIS $ cd /path/to/kwiki $ kwiki -add Kwiki::Notify::Mail $ cat config/notify_mail.yaml >> config.yaml $ edit config.yaml REQUIRES This module requires MIME::Lite to send email. DESCRIPTION This module allows you to notify yourself by email when some one updates a page. You can specify the To:, From: and Subject: headers, but the email message body is not currently configurable. A sample email looks like: Content-Disposition: inline Content-Length: 52 Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary Content-Type: text/plain MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: MIME::Lite 3.01 (F2.72; B3.01; Q3.01) Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2004 22:00:31 UT To: geo_bush@casablanca.gov From: nobody@countykerry.ir Subject: Kwiki page update Kwiki page LotsOfWikiWords edited by AnonymousGnome Configuration Directives * notify_mail_to Specify the mail address you are sending to. * notify_mail_from Specify the address this is apparently from. * notify_mail_subject Specify a subject line for the mail message. You can make use of sprintf()-type formatting codes (%s is the only one that is relevant). If you put or more %s in the configuration directive it will print out the site title, page name and whom it was edited by. You can can't change the order, however. Examples: notify_mail_subject: Kwiki was updated gives you the Subject: line Subject: Kwiki was updated If your site title (defined in site_title in config.yaml) was 'ProjectDiscussion', then notify_mail_subject: My wiki %s was updated gives you the Subject: line Subject: My wiki ProjectDiscussion was updated Next you can add the page name with a second %s. If the updated page happened to be 'NextWeeksAgenda', the configuration directive notify_mail_subject: My wiki %s page %s was updated gives you the Subject: line Subject: My wiki ProjectDiscussion page NextWeeksAgenda was updated Finally, a third %s gives you the name of the person who edited the page: notify_mail_subject: My wiki %s page %s was updated by %s Subject: My wiki ProjectDiscussion page NextWeeksAgenda was updated by PointyHairedBoss The important thing to remember is that you can have either none or one or two or three %s, but you can't change the order. The default value is notify_mail_subject: %s wiki page %s updated by %s which should be fine for most people. * notify_mail_debug When set, saves the mail message to /tmp/kwiki_notify_mail.txt instead of sending it. AUTHOR James Peregrino, "" ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The folks at irc::/irc.freenode.net/kwiki, especially alevin and statico. The style of this module has been adapted from statico's Kwiki::Notify::IRC. BUGS The subject line configuration relies on sprintf() which doesn't allow you to change the order of what gets printed out. The debug file is saved to /tmp and should be user configurable. This module was not tested under Windows and certainly /tmp doesn't exist there. Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-kwiki-notify-mail@rt.cpan.org", or through the web interface at .
